A graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Miss Yomade Balogun, 29, has appealed to Nigerians and philanthropists for financial assistance to save her life from terminal renal disease.

Balogun, who studied Sociology and Archaeology, needs N10million for renal transplant in India, a second time, according to a medical report dated August 30, this year and signed by Dr. A.A. Sonanya for the Head of Nephrology Unit.

In the reference letter, SUB/LASUTH/MED/2017/303, Sonanya said: “The above named is a known patient of our unit, who presented for the first time in April this year. She had a renal transplant done about two and a half years ago in India prior to presentation.

“She subsequently developed a failed renal allograft and is now back on maintenance hemodialysis (once a week). “She attends regular out-patient nephrology clinic and is currently being worked up for a repeat renal transplantation.

“Therefore, any assistance you can render will be most beneficial to the patient.” Her mother, Mrs. Sade Balogun, who is a civil servant and a widow, appealed to Nigerians to the aid of her daughter.

She said: “Yomade wants to live, she still has dreams and believes so much in what the future holds and if God has kept her till now, then there is more to her life.”
